hey, ive just bought some standard black window winders with a bit of chrome on the underside, a subtle yet smart statement i thought. except, i dont know how to fit them. anyone help?
i know it sounds stupid, but until last week id never owned a car, let alone tried to do some work on it.

any help would be appreciated. pics would be superb if poss.
help help help.

cheers,
Dan

To remove your old handles, you have to prise the trim off the front of the handle with a small screwdriver, so that you can access the screw under it. Remove this screw, and the handle will just pull from the mechanism. Refitting is the reverse of removal..

thanks alot, i appreciate it. im just going out to do that now then. ill take some pics to show you how nice they look lol.
cheers again.

will post again in about 15 minutes depending on how crap i am at putting them on.

hey, ive just done it, im not too impressed though. they just look standard with a bit of chrome. too be honest though, i would prefer to have black inside. can you spray those all chrome window winders? was thinking of spraying them metallic black. any opinions? anyone done it?

im gonna get chrome black gear knob too match if i get black chrome window winders.

I'm sure the chrome handles could be sprayed if you sanded them back first, could look pretty cool..

Check out my winders. The chrome ring was taken from a Honda Concerto. I got the idea from looking at my parents' Civic window winders in the back.

or just wind your windows like a mad man (me) and they will fall off in your hand
